This quest is repeatable.

Comment by persheal

This quest awards 25 reputation the first time, 5 each other times.

Interesting thing to note is this is one of the very few quests that doesn't hurt your Bloodsail reputation. Hence if you wanna have a friendly reputation with both the goblins and the pirates, this is one of the best quest to be done repeatedly.

Comment by Mariacella

ive been doing this to help me grind... the other one that ive found useful to do at the same time is http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=7726 . both repeatable and the guys u need to kill are both in the same area... xp at 46 is pretty reasonable for me. and i havent found tomany horde difficulties...

I just did it on 14/9/2007 i got no exp reward

Comment by Desilvio

Confirmed: Both this quest and the Fuel for the Zapper quest are repeatable, but no longer with any XP rewards. Definitely felt like I wasted my time doing them for a second time. The "!" and "?" should be blue after the first turn in.

Comment by erinsman

Just a quick note. The "zapper" has that 2 hour timer on it. After 2 hours, it's gone. Also important is that if the timer runs out on it, and you want to complete the quest again, you have to abandon the quest. You will also have all of the miniaturization residue destroyed. So if you have 9 out of 10 and the zapper timer runs out, you're back to zero.

In my opinion, these repeatable quests aren't worth it.

no longer gives rep as of 10/18/08

Comment by Beaureguard

It's worth noting that like most of the repeatable quests this does not count for the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement. The first one however does.

Comment by Ianos

Well, i thought the same thing, and when i Raised Pirates' reputation to friendly (to take the hat), i turned to that quests. But in the end i didnt get any reputation with noone :(. So, i remained Hated, and i have to start donation to earn Goblins' reputation back. Probably it raises your reputation if you are above a limit (neutreal for example)

Comment by Ketsei

The zapper is nice if you want to fish where there are giants. Get the quest and you can fish for 2 hours without worrying that your fishing trip will be cut short by a giant.Also if there are more giants near you, the zapper will zap every giant within 40yrds... I learned this the hard way, and it wasn't much fun.

Comment by Kouh

While its repeatable, it doesn't give any exp when you turn it in... Thought it would but it doesn't.. Neither does it give any Rep when its repeated. Same with the other repeatable quest that you get from the little goblin dude. It only gives you 21 Silver Per turn in. The only thing I think you could get out of doing this multiple times is some extra cash besides that from what you get off the gaints and the exp when you kill the gaints and the elemental/sprays for the other quest (I was level 47 getting about 270 - 310 exp per kill, not rested)

Comment by Deathcow

When i completed it i didnt get any XP -,-'.... not even rep ......

Comment by Chuck462

This will not count for the Kalimdor achievement. The first one for it might (did it a couple years ago), but the repeatable ones do not.

Comment by Jaehiko

Confirmed: This does count for the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement.

Comment by Chilius

All that's left at lvl 80 is the 21 Silver reward.

No Steamwheedle reputation points anymore and it gives no quest achievement count also.

Comment by Bartur

I can confirm that the followup does not count for Kalimdor Achivement

Comment by fenoglio

is this repeatable like a daily, or like turning in everfrost/relics of ulduar

Comment by FuxieDK

If you are farming Steamwheedle Rep in DM North, this is a perfect break, when you get locked out of DM due to too many resets.

The 30 minutes lockout is exactly the time it takes to:- Ride back to Camp Mojache (horde) and sell your loot from DM- Ride to Zorbin Fandazzle west coast of Faralas- Get both Refuel for Zapping and this quest- Kill giants/Elementals- Turn in both quests and redo both of them- Turn in both quests again and ride back to DM North

While 4 quests of 25 rep (for each of the 4 Steamwheedle factions) isn't much, it still beats standing outside DM for 30 minutes.. :)

Comment by methamp

Good thing I looked up this quest to see what crap for exp. it gives. This is great to repeat for rep I guess, but for leveling an alt. as fast as you can -- very deceptive. I abandoned both the quests this guy gave after turning in the first ones.

Comment by Cronje

Killing pirates outside Ratchet is much faster than this. At 5 rep per kill (25 for Baron) for Ratched and 2-3 for the others, you can get about 130 rep with the goblins, 260 for Ratchet by just killing all of the pirates between Ratchet and Northwatch Hold. This makes it so much better than the two repeatable quests.

Comment by Rotseh

When zapping the giants as an initial attack, make sure you have your pet (Hunters, Warlocks et al.) on passive or else you will not be able to loot the residue.

Comment by Hoticehunter

For people going for "the Insane" title, you need both Bloodsail and Goblin rep. This is one of the few ways you can get that.

Comment by Macookta

@HoticehunterNote that Cronie's method will still allow you to retain your Bloodsail reputation. Killing the pirates by Ratchet will not result in reputation loss with any faction.

Comment by Noctemus

True! It doesnt count to loremaster.

Comment by Hammockguy

A better method would be killing the Venture Co. Goblins in STV for Booty Bay rep. 5 reputation points per kill for Booty Bay and 2.5 for the other goblin cities.

Comment by deliazard

Speaking of efficiency if you wish to be as efficient as possible I would suggest the following: That you tape

/cast Zorbin's Ultra-Shrinker

to you're main initiating spell/attack macro if applicable as I have lost a few of the residue this way. That you farm north of Zorbin as there is a rather larger supply of elementals and giants to the north than the south. In addition there are giants deeper in the water that may not be entirely obvious. Happy hunting:).

EDIT: Wow, >.>, just trying to be helpful. Rate this down again, I'll remove this "Eye-sore".

Again With the Zapped Giants

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.

Use Zorbin's Ultra-Shrinker to zap any kind of giant found in Feralas into a more manageable form. Bring 10 Miniaturization Residues found on the zapped versions of these giants to Zorbin Fandazzle at the docks of the Forgotten Coast, Feralas.

Inconceivably fantastical, <name>! You've come through for me again, and for that I thank you.

Thank you!

While you may find this coin to be a little less than you're accustomed to, rest assured your great deeds on the field of goblindom are echoing through the halls of power in the Steamwheedle Cartel. Should you need something else to do, then by all means talk to me!
